Introduction

This article is useful if your cameras are on a different network than your NVR, or are otherwise not appearing in your NVR's camera list. There are two methods to adopt directly, Manual adoption, or Token Adoption. Token adoption is faster than Manual Adoption, especially when configuring multiple cameras.
